IET  THE  BESSLER 
SOLVE  YOUR  , 
STAIRWAY  A* 
PROBLEM 


By  using  the  “BESSLER" 
you  will  add  $500.00  to 
$1,000.00  to  the  value  of  your 
home.  Write  "BESSLER” 
and  he  will  tell  you  how  this 
can  be  done. 


BESSLER”  can  be  put 
out  of  the  way  almost  as 
quickly  as  the  closing  of  a 
door,  then  you  have  a  stair¬ 
way  and  yet  you  have  no 
stairway  so  far  as  using 
space  is  concerned. 


Saving  Floor  Space 

r|! HAT’S  the  mission  of  the  Bessler  Movable 
Stairway. 

To  do  away  with  stationary — space  devour¬ 
ing — stairways  in  bungalows ,  two-story  houses, 
balconies  and  mezzanine  floors — the  latter  in 
banks,  theatres,  hotels,  stores,  etc. 

To  utilize  the  space  above  a  garage  as  a  work¬ 
room  and  storeroom. 

Bv  specifying  the  Bessler  Movable  Stairway 
in  bungalows  you  effect  entrance  to  the  upper 
half-story  without  using  up  a  single  square  foot 
of  space  in  the  room  below. 

In  two-and-a-half  story  houses  it  is  no  longer 
necessary  to  build  a  box  stairway  to  the  attic — 
install  a  Bessler  Movable  Stairway  and  add  the 
space  saved  onto  a  room — use  it  for  a  clothes 
closet  or  scores  of  other  useful  purposes. 

Save  space — and  save  money,  too.  Our  stair¬ 
way  eliminates  altogether  the  expense  incidental 
to  a  box  stairway,  such  as  partitioning,  lathing 
and  plastering.  And  in  stairways  of  the  open 
type  the  saving  is  equal  in  proportion. 

And,  as  has  been  proven,  you  not  only  save 
all  this  expense,  but  by  saving  space — utilizing 
every  square  foot — you  add  from  five  hundred 
to  one  thousand  dollars  onto  any  house.  That  we 
have  proven.

This  photograph  shows  how  our  stairway  is 
being  used  in  bungalows.  It’s  always  ready  for 
immediate  use.  When  no  longer  needed  it 
swings  up  into  the  ceiling,  out  of  the  way.  Panel 
on  page  five  is  the  only  part  visible.  It  can  be 
opened  or  closed  from  above  or  below.  A  child 
can  operate  it.

Costs  Less  Than  a 
Stationary  Stairway 

rp  HE  Bessler  Movable  Stairway  as  compared 
to  the  average  stationary  stairway,  both 
box  and  open  types,  is  cheaper  in  dollars 
and  cents  by  a  considerable  margin.  You  can 
prove  this  to  your  own  satisfaction  by  comparing 
the  prices  shown  on  page  twenty-three  with  the 
cost  of  a  fairly  good  stationary  stairway. 

The  cost  of  installing  The  Bessler  Movable 
Stairway  varies,  of  course,  with  conditions.  But 
experience  has  shown  us  that  in  a  new  structure 
where  the  ceiling  has  been  prepared,  our  stair¬ 
way  can  be  assembled  and  hung  in  place  in  one 
hour  by  any  carpenter. 

In  buildings  where  the  ceiling  must  be  cut  out 
and  the  opening  cased  up,  from  6  to  8  hours  will 
give  any  carpenter  ample  time  to  make  a  work¬ 
manlike  job  of  installing  it.  We  refer,  of  course, 
to  frame  structures. 

This  panel  is  the  only  part  of  the  Bessler  Movable 
Stairway  visible  when  stairs  is  swung  up  into  ceil¬ 
ing.  Can  be  finished  to  match  tvoodtvork  in  room.

A  workroom  or  storeroom  in  the 
otherwise  unused  upper  portion  of 
a  garage  is  easily  effected  with  The 


Bessler  Movable  Stairway.  The  photograph 
shows  a  typical  instance  of  how  the  upstairs 
workroom  is  made  possible.  When  the  stair* 
way  is  not  in  use,  the  entire  space  below  is  open 
and  free  from  obstruction. 


Six 


With  the  explicit  directions,  and  diagram 
we  send  with  each  stairway,  it  is  a  very  simple 
matter  to  install  The  Bessler  Movable  Stairway. 
In  fact,  after  the  opening  in  the  ceiling  is  cased 
up,  anyone  who  can  use  a  hammer  and  screw¬ 
driver  (all  the  tools  required)  can  install  our 
stairway. 


A  Suggestion 


d'he  upstairs  hallway,  which  is  often  a  dark, 
little  used  space,  half  filled  with  a  box  stairway 
to  the  attic,  can  be  made  into  a  roomy,  cheerful 
sewing- room  by  replacing  the  box  stairway  with 
a  ‘‘Bessler,”  putting  a  window  in  the  end  of  the 
hall  and  building  a  neat  rail  around  the  top  of 
the  main  stainvay. 

This  is  how  the  Bessler  Movable  Stairway 
appears  in  the  upper  room  when  folded  up 
into  the  ceiling.  It  is  compact  and  requires 
very  little  space.  A  neat  panel  shown  on 
page  five  appears  in  the  ceiling  below. 


Then  consider  this.  Here  is 
a  second  floor  unobstructed  by 
a  stationary  stairway,  yet  pro¬ 
viding  quick  and  convenient  access  into  the  attic. 
The  safety  feature  shown  in  the  photograph  ap¬ 
peals  strongly  to  women. 


IT  MUST  not  be  thought  that  the  use  of  The 
Bessler  Movable  Stairway  is  restricted  to 
homes,  garages  and  so  on. 

Our  stairway  is  in  use  now  in 
practically  every  type  of  struc¬ 
ture  ranging  from  garages  to 
skyscrapers.  And  in  residences 
costing  up  to  $200,000. 


The  Bessler  Movable  Stairway  can  be  found 
in  California  bungalows,  in  Long  Island  summer 
homes,  in  lofts  and  office  buildings  throughout 
the  United  States.  With  thousands  of  installa¬ 
tions,  we  have  yet  to  receive  our  first  complaint. 


Stairway  is  now  about  half-way  clown  from  ceiling. 
A  light  touch  of  the  hand  rolls  it  down  the  panel  to 

the  floor.

The  Real  Test  of  Merit 


FTER  all  is  said  and  done,  the  reception 


of  a  product  in  its  home  town  is  a  pretty 


good  test  of  its  merit. 

We  point  with  a  certain  pride  to  the  fact  that 
we  have  successfully  passed  this  test,  as  we  have 
about  500  Bessler  Movable  Stairways  installed 
in  our  home  city — Akron,  Ohio. 

The  great  majority  of  these  stairways  were 
sold  without  solicitation — orders  that  came  to  us 
through  the  recommendation  and  specification 
of  architects,  contractors,  and  a  host  of  well- 
pleased  users. 

In  the  plate  alongside  are  shown  some  of  the 
installations  in  Akron  buildings.  The  summer 
home  of  F.  H.  Mason  contains  two  of  our  stair¬ 
ways.  The  $200,000  mansion  of  A.  H.  Noah 
has  one — finished  in  white  enamel.  The  Hard¬ 
ware  &  Supply  Company,  large  retail  and 
wholesale  distributors,  and  one  of  our  strong 
boosters,  have  one  in  the  building  shown. 

The  next  building  serves  as  the  office  for  the 
Model  Farm  of  O.  C.  Barber,  capitalist.  The 
stairway  was  specified  by  the  architect  and 
heartily  approved  by  the  owner. 

C.  B.  Raymond,  secretary  of  The  B.  F.  Good¬ 
rich  Company,  saved  considerable  space  in  his 
big  garage  with  a  Bessler  Movable  Stairway, 
and  so  on.

^|^HE  Bessler  Movable  Stairway  added 
$500.00  to  the  value  of  this  bungalow. 
The  owner  decided  that  rather  than  use  up 
the  space  required  for  a  stairway,  he  would 
abandon  the  room  in  the  half-story. 

He  happened  to  mention  this  to  a  friend  of 
his  and  added  regretfully,  “I  wish  I  could  find 
some  way  to  use  that  room.  I  hate  to  let  it  go 
to  waste.”

The  friend  had  seen  a  Bessler  in  another  house 
and  told  this  man  about  it.  He  investigated  and 
the  photograph  shows  the  result.  Another  room 
was  practically  added  on  to  this  house  without 
using  a  single  square  foot  of  floor  space  in  the 
room  below. 

Leading  Architects  Specify  The  Bessler 
Movable  Stairway 

Architects  are  not  given  to  specifying  any 
device  unknown  to  them.  The  fact  that  prom¬ 
inent  architects  have  and  are  specifying  our 
stairway  in  some  of  their  best  buildings,  and  then 
at  the  very  next  opportunity  specifying  them 
again  is  proof  positive  that  The  Bessler  Movable 
Stairway  not  onlv  meets  all  claims  we  make  for 
it,  but  that  it  is  practical,  simple,  reliable  and 
fairly  priced.  Architects  will  find  us  listed  in 
Sweet’s  catalog. 

We  are  often  confronted  with  the  question, 
“Is  your  stairway  cheaper  than  a  stationary 
stairway?”  Our  question  depends  on  the  type 
of  building  the  inquirer  has  in  mind.  If  it  is  an 
average  building,  our  answer  is  “Yes.” 

We  do  not  care  to  compare  The  Bessler 
Movable  Stairway  to  a  cheap,  flimsilv  con¬ 
structed  flight  of  “steps.”  As  a  matter  of  fact, 
we  don’t  find  it  necessary.  "The  space-saving 
feature  of  our  stairway  is  its  strongest  argument, 
and  is  in  fact  the  best  reason  why  you  should 
install  it. 


Anyone  caring  to  look  into  the  matter  will  find 
that  defective  fines  or  electric  wiring,  lightning 
and  spontaneous  combustion  are  frequent  causes 
of  fires,  which  in  a  great  many  instances  originate 
in  the  attic. 

Many  homes,  both  new  and  old,  have  either 
no  means  of  entrance  into  the  attic,  or  are

equipped  with  a  small  manhole  located  “some¬ 
where  upstairs.”  In  the  event  of  fire  it  would  be 
difficult  to  check  it. 

We  have  equipped  hundreds  of  homes  of  this 
type  and  have  rendered  them  safe,  insofar  as  by 
letting  the  stairs  halfway  down,  proper  ventila¬ 
tion  is  afforded,  eliminating  the  danger  of  spon¬ 
taneous  combustion,  and  it  is  easy  to  detect  and 
repair  poor  wiring  and  defective  flues.  In  the 
event  of  fire,  however,  it  can  be  checked  before 
much  damage  is  wrought,  because  The  Bessler 
Movable  Stairway  is  made  ready  for  use  in  a 
twinkling. 

At  the  same  time  the  attic  is  made  useful  as  a 
storeroom,  or  a  place  to  dry  clothes.  It  can  also 
be  used  as  a  billiard  room  or  a  den.  And  what  a 
delightful  place  it  makes  for  the  children  to  play 
in  and  make  all  the  noise  they  wish. 

The  rental  or  selling  value  of  the  home  is  also 
considerably  increased. 

We  can  obviously  touch  on  but  a  few  points, 
and  that  most  briefly  in  this  little  book.  There 
are  just  as  many  reasons  for  installing  a  Bessler 
Movable  Stairway  as  there  are  homes  without 
them.  Each  individual  case  presents  a  new  and 
interesting  problem,  and  a  new  argument  in 
favor  of  our  stairway.  We  would  be  glad  to 
have  you  write  us  for  further  information.

Sturdiness 
and  strength  are 
expressed  in  the 
photograph  along¬ 
side,  and  indeed 
The  Bessler  Mov¬ 
able  Stairway  is  built  strong — 
a  strength  gained  by  adherence  to 
simplicity  in  the  construction  and 
correctness  in  the  design. 


How  it  Works 

One  of  the  big  outstanding  features 
in  the  construction  of  The  Bessler 
Movable  Stairway  is  its  simplicity.  It  consists 
of  a  strong,  well-built  bight  of  stairs,  which  is 
attached  to  the  end  trimmer  of  an  opening  in  the 
ceiling  of  room  or  hall  where  stairs  is  to  be 
located. 


As  has  been  explained,  a  panel  is  the  only  part 
visible  in  the  ceiling  when  stairway  is  folded. 

To  use  the  stairway,  a  light  pull  on  a  chain 
brings  it  into  position.  Stairhorse  is  then  rolled 
down  the  panel  onto  the  floor.  To  fold  it  back 
up  into  the  ceiling,  stairhorse  is  rolled  up  on  the 


panel.  Spring  barrels  on  each  side  of  stairhorse 
do  the  work  with  a  very  slight  assistance  from 
the  operator. 

When  in  this  position,  the  spring  barrels 
(which  are  double  acting),  together  with  the 
counter  balance  formed  by  the  now  projecting 
stairhorse,  automatically  swings  the  stairway  up 
into  the  ceiling.  It  is  all  so  simple  and  so  easy 
that  a  child  can  readily  operate  it.  That,  bv  the 
way,  is  illustrated  on  the  cover  design  of  this 
book. 

An  equalizing  bar  is  placed  on  each  side  of 
the  panel,  to  which  are  attached  pulleys  depend¬ 
ing  from  the  cable  leading  to  the  spring  barrels, 
and  which  perform  the  function  of  lifting  the 
stairs  up  to  the  ceiling.  The  purpose  of  these 
equalizing  bars  is  to  keep  an  even  and  smooth 
pull  on  the  stairs  the  entire  distance  of  its  ascent. 
This  is  accomplished  by  the  pulleys  traveling 
forward  as  the  stairway  goes  up. 

This  little  device  causes  the  stairway  to  close 
up  tight  against  the  ceiling  without  slamming. 
There  is  never  the  remotest  possibility  of  the 
stairway  coming  down  unless  it  is  brought  down. 


Our  Guarantee 

We  absolutely  guarantee  The  Bessler  Movable 
Stairway  to  do  everything  we  claim  for  it.  Any 
defects  in  material  or  workmanship  will  at  once 
be  properly  and  satisfactorily  adjusted.

95%  of  the  homes  where  box  stairways  are 
built  in  are  of  just  such  type  as  the  cut  shown, 
while  this  space  could  have  been  used  for  other 
purposes  that  would  have  been  more  valuable 
than  the  stairway  itself.
